It was the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution. The Constitution has no giant signatures-
The Declaration of Independence does --
and that would be John Hancock -- whose signature is so large in comparison to all the other signatures, that he earned the phrase
"Can I have your John Hancock?"
which is said in reference to asking someone for their signature!
Oh, dude, after the Continental Congress signed the Declaration of Independence, they were like, "What now?" So, they sent it off to be printed, distributed, and basically shared with the world. It was kind of a big deal, you know, like a breakup text but on a global scale.
The first person to sign the Declaration of Independence, written to declare independence from Britain, was John Hancock. DID YOU KNOW...? People now call a persons signature their John Hancock because, when Hancock signed the document, he wrote it so big "so that the king can read it without aid of spectacles".John Hancock is generally regarded as the first signer of the Declaration of Independence.Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington and Steven Harper
by sucking a big hairy cock hahahhahahahhhaha
Oh honey, Benjamin Franklin didn't just sign any ol' documents, he signed the Declaration of Independence, the Treaty of Paris, and the United States Constitution. These bad boys laid the foundation for the birth of America and its diplomatic relations, so yeah, they're kind of a big deal. Without those signatures, we might all still be sipping tea and talking in British accents.
because they played a big role in the world war.=] because they played a big role in the world war.=]
JOHN HANCOCK
The Declaration of Independence was printed there and signed
John Hancock
Lincoln did not sign the declaration of independence.
yes he did
They signed the declaration of independence because it was a sign of respect. It was something like a law that everyone had to go by and the people who had something to do with the declaration signed it. The Declaration of Independence was finished on July 2 by Thomas Jefferson. But they had to do a look over n they make some corrections to it. Benjamin Franklin did most of the editing because he was a editor and a publisher. The Declaration of Independence was all good on July 4. That is now Independence Day. It also kept the U.S.A. independent from Britain. None of the 56 delegates that signed the Declaration of Independence knew that it would be as big as it is today. It is a big part of out history.
John Hancock! He's the one who signed really huge!
He said he wanted to make sure the King saw his name when he got the declaration of independence.
"May 20, 1775 is the date of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence while April 12, 1776 is the date of the Halifax Resolve. Both documents played a big part in the American independence movement." The Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence was signed in Charlotte, NC on May 20, 1775 and signed by the citizens of Mecklenburg County. The document is believed to be the first declaration from Great Britain, and according to dates was signed over a year before the Declaration of Independence. The document was created following the battle of Lexington, the first battle of the American Revolutionary War. The Halifax Resolves were the first resolution given by a colony to its delegates to join other colonies in the declaration of independence from Great Britain. It did not instruct the delegates to introduce a "resolution of independence", only to join in a declaration of independence.
John Hancock (1737-1793), orphaned as a boy, was adopted by a rich uncle who had no children of his own. Hancock is best remembered for his large, flamboyant signature on the Declaration of Independence.

Oh, dude, in Independence Hall, the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, declaring America's independence from Britain. Then, the U.S. Constitution was signed there in 1787, laying out the framework for our government. So, like, those are the two big ones, you know?
